A driver plowed into a crowd of revelers at a Christmas market in a town in central Germany on Friday evening, killing at least two people and injuring 60 people, local officials said.

The Christmas market is located in the city of Magdeburg, the state capital of Saxony-Anhalt, where people had gathered to celebrate the Christmas holidays. One of the dead was a small child, said Reiner Haseloff, Prime Minister of Saxony-Anhalt.

“It is a terrible tragedy. It is a catastrophe for the city of Magdeburg, for the country and for Germany as a whole,” said Haseloff.

The news comes just a month after German Interior Minister Nancy Faeser advised people to be vigilant at Christmas markets. It has also been eight years since Anis Amri, a rejected Tunisian asylum seeker with Islamist connections, drove a truck into revelers at a Christmas market in Berlin, killing 12 people and injuring dozens more.
